I was gently correcting your notion that Phnom Penh is closer to Kiev than Bangkok.
PNH KBP falls within 100 miles of the 5,000 mile limit. Perhaps QR rounds up! Who knows?
But you are totally correct: there IS very clearly something odd about the way QR agents are interpreting and applying the policy. But there again, Qatar seldom shines in these things, and It's their game, they write the rules...and they they have the referee in their pocket
.
Maybe best to accept the rough with the smooth - there's plenty of smooth to enjoy; and if the rough is spending a few $ on a ticket Bangkok to Phnom Penh, it's not that much of a hardship.

Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are both comfortably outside the 5,000 mile cut off.
If you celebrate the rules being bent in a positive way, by whoever blagged Singapore, it gets more difficult to sustain a complaint that you've been hard done by being refused Phnom Penh but allowed Bangkok. Where rule are not applied consistently there will be winners and losers. Extending a ticket for free from Europe to SE Asia isn't really losing.
